Mogadishu is the capital city of Somalia. The North and South Korean diplomats are constantly fighting an unseen war. In 1991, rebels attack the city. The North Koreans have to abandon their embassy. Despite their distrust, they are forced to seek help from the South Koreans.
This is supposed to be based on true events. As always, one is never sure how much is true. It's a compelling story. There are some good drama and interesting characters. It has good action although some of it is closer to a Hollywood shoot them up movie. There is too much shooting to result in so few Korean dead. Sometimes, no shooting is just as intense or even more intense than chaotic Hollywood action. I really like some of the inter-Korean conflicts. It's a bit eye-opening for an outsider like me. All in all, this is a compelling movie with a whole lot of shooting action.
